Gluten Free Tomato Sauce / Gravy

Gluten Free Tomato Sauce / Gravy

Directions:

1. Coat the bottom of your pot with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Dice up about 2-3 cloves of garlic for every can of Crushed Tomatoes you plan to use. Cook the garlic until it’s golden brown.

2. Pour in desired (we used 2 here) cans of Crushed Tomatoes and stir in garlic. Do not wait too long to add tomatoes. Burnt garlic ruins a sauce.
Note: One can of Cento and one can of Tuttorosa Crushed Tomatoes “make-a nice-a sauce”.

3. Add fresh basil (preferred) or dried basil if that’s all you have. Add in salt and pepper to taste – Grandma never measures 🙂 Stir in the spices.
Note: to change it up, consider adding cooked (baked or fried) meatballs, sausage and/or half of a raw red pepper.

4. Stir occassionally and cook for at least 1 to 2 hours. (Unstirred sauce will burn)
Note: A sauce is not cooked until it’s not bright red anymore. The sauce should darken and lose it’s bitter taste.
